Houston Texans cut three players for violating team rules

[jmt57]

Houston apparently is attempting to catch up to Tampa bay in terms of which NFL team is in more disarray with off the field issues in 2013.

Per John McClain, a reporter for the Houston Chronicle:

Texans waived RB Cierre Wood, DE Sam Montgomery, OLB Willie Jefferson. Sources say they violated team rules at KC hotel. Got sent home.

Texans could have used Cierre Wood cause of injuries to Arian Foster and Ben Tate in 17-16 loss to Chiefs.

Sam Montgomery was a huge third-round bust. Jefferson has a lot of potential as a 3-4 pass rusher and played on special teams.

Texans have 3 roster openings cause Wood, Montgomery and Jefferson released. Wood and Jefferson had off-the-field issues in college.

Texans need a veteran ILB to replace Brian Cushing. They also need a 3rd RB. Obviously, Gary Kubiak doesn't take kindly to rules violations.​

Sam Montgomery was a third round pick. Ouch.

Did they not wear the right jacket to the game or something?

Wait. . . . I thought Houston was in the NFL, not the NCAA. . . .

What will Houston give us for RB Emily Blount? DE Jake Bequette?
Fire sale for early round draft picks!

Sounds like they had ladies of the night in their hotel room. They probably tried to do their best Bryant McKinnie "I'm in love with a stripper" impersonation.

Sam Montgomery was a third round pick. Ouch.

First round talent with a ten cent head.

Houston will be packing it in so I'll say it first.........Ryan Mallet for JJ Watt.

Sam Montgomery was a third round pick. Ouch.

“You know, some weeks when we didn’t have to play the harder teams, there were some times when effort was not needed,” Montgomery said. “But when we had the big boys coming in, the ‘Bamas or the South Carolinas, I grabbed close to those guys and went all out.

“Of course, this is a new league, the NFL and there are no small teams, small divisions, it is all Alabamas and LSUs every week. It’s definitely something I have to get adjusted to, but I’m sure with the right coaching I will be fine.”

Pretty much says it all about the guy, I'd guess.

Well, at least the disarray and tribulations of various other football clubs have prevented us from becoming the "Britta Perry's" of the league this season.

What the...!!!

Houston Texans LB Willie Jefferson was waived for smoking a cigar in the team hotel

That cigar was so expensive, I'm hoping it's Cuban.

IF that's true, then it makes it all the more remarkable that the Patriots were willing to wait until the facts became clearer when Julian Edelman was arrested.

OTOH, I wonder if, to borrow from Freud, the cigar really was a cigar. . . .

Even for scapegoating, that's incredibly lame, IMO.

A cigar, really? Do they know how many blunts some of these guys smoke?

Why would we send Mallett to the Texans when we could just send a cigar to JJ Watt?

I just got an early look at the Texan's new team logo:

 

[CelticPatriot]

A linebacker, you say?

Wish they'd cut a DT though
